 Okay, first of all, I'm tired. The STS really messed
 with my sleep patterns. Second of all, I'm working
 from my home computer, which isn't as cooperative as
the one at college... Therefore, expect this week's
 fixes to be briefer than usual. They should still be
 good, though.
 
 As for the Prop15 thingy. Prop15 is now behind us,
 hopefully forever, so please don't swamp me with
 prop15 deck submissions. On the other hand, a deck
 like this will probably end up running very few
 trainers anyway, so oh well.
 
 Your Pokemon are decent, although I don't know that
I'd even run Scyther. I think I'd go with something
 like 4 Blaine's Magmar, 2 Fossil Magmar. If you
 really want to stick to the "3" part of 15-3 despite
Prop15 and its derivatives are now dead and buried
(/me dances on grave) you could run 3 of each, I
guess.
 
 Good Manners is a natural call. So's Blaine and NGR.
I think I'd run Computer Search in this deck simply to
go pick out the trainer you need and as a redundant
means of getting to the Blaine's Magmar. Without
Blaine's Magmar, your deck probably kind of loses, so
it's important to ensure you can get one on the first
or second turn.

 Also, you want Goop Gas Attack. Ever see those
 slow-motion films of crash-test cars slamming into
 solid walls at 45 mph? That's what happens to this
 deck when it encounters an Erika's Dratini or even a
 Mr. Mime. That's why you run Goop Gas.
 
 Other than that, you pretty much just pour Fire
 Energy in until you hit 60 cards.
 
 Good luck. I have to say I really don't think a
 Blaine's Magmar deck can be viable in any but the
 most whacked-out of formats. Go ahead-- prove me
wrong.
 
 -Spike
